The Purple Xperience

There's been no shortage of Prince tributes in recent weeks, but here's one from a band with a long history and a Minneapolis pedigree.

Friday

Bloc Party

Kele Okereke and his London indie band — with a new drummer and bassist on board — are amid a U.S. tour in support of January's "Hymns," which shakes up the group's standard take on anthemic but accessible arty rock fare. With MS MR and Oscar. 7 p.m., Majestic Theatre, 4140 Woodward, Detroit. 313-833-9700. $26.50-$30.

Detroit's Crashing Cairo will open the show. 7:30 p.m., DTE Energy Music Theatre, I-75 at exit 89, Clarkston. 248-377-0100. $10-$34.50.
